Khamenei hints he supports nuclear negotiations

Israel National News reports: “Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, on Monday signaled support for Tehran’s nuclear negotiations to secure sanctions relief, The Associated Press reported.

Khamenei stressed the importance of Iranian economic self-sufficiency during a lengthy televised speech on the occasion of Nowruz, the Persian New Year.

At the same time, he added, ‘I do not say that you should not seek to lift the sanctions. Those who are trying and working in that field, there is no problem.’

Khamenei has remained largely silent on the negotiations to restore Tehran’s nuclear deal with world powers. His vague but supportive comments on Monday signaled that Iranian negotiators retained political space and flexibility, noted AP.

Iran has gradually scaled back its compliance with the 2015 deal it signed with world powers, in response to former US President Donald Trump’s withdrawal from the agreement in May of 2018, but has held several rounds of indirect talks with the US on a return to the agreement…”
